Innerview With A Bear - by Eric F. Crow

(In full regalia, photo by  Tristan Sutphin ) Heath Hooper is the current Mr. World Bear 2023 . Last September, he competed at World Bear Weekend alongside with our own Mr. LA Leather Bear 2020, Alan Gabriel. He's just a little past the halfway point of his reign, and I wanted to see how he saw the proverbial forest shaping up. Coming from the days of IBR (Int'l Bear Rendezvous), personally, it's been a relief to know that there is a pathway for Bears that find themselves up to the task have a pathway to the proverbial top of the intercontinental Bear pile. They picked things up and ran with them, having most recently with their landmark decision to remove the gender requirement from all titles in their system.  Heath is a great way to return to regular content here at New Horizons For Fifty. On with the interview. Eric: How has your title year gone? Where have you been and what have you done with your time? Heath : My title year and my fiftieth earth year so far has been

Inner View of a Pet - by Eric Crow and Jonathan Daniels

  During the process of interviewing the current Mr. World Bear, Heath Hooper, it made perfect sense to reach out to his husband, Jonathan Daniel, who has also served as an international titleholder (North American Pet 2022) . What followed was one of the most unique experiences I have ever had in all the interviews I have done, and there have been many . This is also the most collaborative interview in the history of New Horizons to date--it's making me reconsider how I approach the idea of an interview. Jonathan is a treasure trove of quotable lines that are quite relevant in regards to the life of a titleholder, as well as the cherished subjects of body positivity and personal empowerment, and he presents a very healthy outlook on the subject of Pet play and the Pet community. I don't think I would have learned as much as I did using the "send questions, wait for answers" format that I use. Get ready to get deep, because this is a five-course meal of an interview.

by Eric Crow July 12-14 marked the 45th anniversary of San Diego Pride, and as with all other Pride events, celebrated the 50th anniversary of Stonewall.  The first year of Pride was march of just 25 people who marched with bags over their heads to conceal their identity (fear of being outed and then fired and/or evicted was very palpable then). The next year, 400 showed up for to march (organizers managed to secure a permit) ending with a rally at Balboa Park.  ( https://sdpride.org/1974-2/ ). In 1999, San Diego Pride turned 25  and had the tear-gas incident along the parade route, which nearly shut down the parade. Once everything was cleared, the parade continued and attendees had  a double-headline bill of Berlin and Joan Jett and the Black Hearts with the fabulous Judy Tenuta taking the stage just before Joan Jett. I managed to secure the opening slot on the Youth Zone stage that year, and returned the next year in the same slot. 2000 San Diego Pride was also the year of the
